Hon. Geoffrey Lutaaya Speaks Out After Election Outcome, Vows to Keep Promises to Supporters

Kampala, Uganda — Musician-turned-politician Hon. Geoffrey Lutaaya has spoken publicly following the announcement that he was not declared the winner in his recent electoral contest, saying he remains committed to the people who supported him during the campaign period.

In a brief statement, Lutaaya emphasized that although the results did not go in his favor, he has no intention of reclaiming any items or support he extended to voters while seeking office.

“I was not declared the winner, but I am not taking back anything I bought for my voters,” he said, a remark that has since drawn mixed reactions across social and political circles.

Supporters have praised the gesture as a sign of goodwill and appreciation, while critics argue that the statement may reignite ongoing debates about campaign conduct and the boundaries between voter support and inducement under Uganda’s electoral laws.

Political analysts note that post-election statements like Lutaaya’s often aim to maintain grassroots connections and preserve political capital ahead of future contests.

Others say the comments reflect broader conversations about campaign culture and expectations placed on candidates during elections.

As discussions continue online and within political spaces, Lutaaya has yet to indicate his next political move, though observers believe he is likely to remain active in community mobilization and party activities.
